A Clara and Iris Mystery Book 3
by Kim Carter
Genre: Mystery, Thriller 

Private Investigators Clara Samples and Iris Hadley are at it again.
The two widows are celebrating a successful first year of business when Pritchard Pitts of the Atlanta Police Department swings by with an unusual case.

One that’s already been solved. But family members of both the victims and the offenders have doubts the jury got it right. It’ll be up to the PIs and their trusted team to prove that the two men incarcerated for the double murder are indeed innocent.

As they delve deeper into the grisly crime, nothing is as it seems.
From Iris working undercover as a waitress to Clara scouring out-of-state pawn shops, the duo soon discovers more questions than answers.

Are the men locked away in one of Georgia’s most secure prisons guilty or innocent?
And will the fearless private investigators and their team survive long enough to get the answer?

Early ARC And BETA Reader Reviews

“Kim Carter, the Queen of mystery thrillers, is at the top of her game in her new novel. Die-hard fans won’t be disappointed, and new readers will be converted to her world.”
– Shaun Sinclair, author, publisher, actor, screenwriter, and executive producer

“Kim Carter does it again, sending her two senior lady private eyes out to prove age is not a deterrent to good old-fashioned sleuthing. From the first page, the author skillfully weaves her characters together with humor and imagination, resulting in a gripping but delightful mystery.”
– Barbara Daniels Dena, award-winning author of The Soul Series, a collection of short stories.


The dazzling golden sleuths, Clara and Iris, and the rest of their crew are at it again. I’m glad that Quita is back, and we can see her growth into a ‘Boss.’ The Root Of All Evil has a cleverly woven plot and a splendid touch of humor, making it the perfect escape.
Novelist Kim Carter did not disappoint us, as she’s masterfully crafted a dynamic ‘whodunit’ that will provide the thrill of uncovering hidden truths and the real suspects! This book is a silent orchestration of suspense, pulling us into a dance with the unknown. Every twist in this intricate tapestry of intrigue conceals another layer of deception, dysfunction, and love.
– Lissha Sadler, Founder of Visions and Books and Hardcore Grind Magazine
